demonstration on campus until their demand are met. in the middle east, parts of east rafah are surrounded by israeli tanks after their war cabinet gave the military the green light to expand the war. and in northern gaza, more evacuations. israeli officials say they are preventing hamas from reestablishing military capabilities. the u.n. says more than 100,000 palestinians now are homeless there and are running out of options of where to go. white house report says israel may have violated international humanitarian law using u.s. weapons. israel says they haven't. meanwhile, u.s. taxpayer dollars continue to fund that war. back here in the bay area, community members in san francisco's alamo square are rallying against hate after a neighbor has been targeted for extremely hateful racist attacks. the victim says he was sent two hateful packages to his front door within a span of ten days. we blurred out what

was found inside. one package included a doll with a noose and threatening messages. video from nearby surveillance cameras show the person neighbors claim left that doll on the night of april 26th. many people gathered at alamo square park to support terry williams and speak out against the hateful messages he received. neighbors say they have been sending williams door camera videos and will continue to support him. we reached out the the san francisco police department for more details and they confirmed a hate crime investigation is underway. at the time, a spokesperson did not confirm the incidents are connected but said, quote, no one should be targeted because of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or any other shared characteristic. more than 100 birds have been brought in to the international bird rescue

center in fairfield. workers say those birds are starving and dehydrated. the animals are mostly coming from monterey or santa cruz to be taken care of here. >> some of them are coming in less than half of the body weight they're supposed to be. so imagine a human going through that. you know, you're supposed to weigh 150 pounds, you weigh 75 pounds, you're going to be having severe problems. >> at 6:00, john ramos will have more on the efforts to nurse the brown pelicans back to health. there is a new park in san francisco, where you can go to see 360-degree views of the bay and the san francisco skyline. plus, did you see it? the aurora borealis lit up the bay area sky. coming up, your chances of seeing it tonight. we do need to talk about that. i'll go into a little bit of perspective on all those incredible pictures you're seeing of the aurora last night and why you may not see that if you go out there tonight. it's still worth a try anyway. plus, we've got to talk about these

temperatures. how long are we staying this warm? forecast coming up. and coming up in sport, giants are welcoming back a key battle that should help spark the offense. plus, the redesigned golden gate golf course is back and open to the public, so of course, we had to check it out. stick around and

choice hotels is a family of brands with a hotel for any traveler you want to be... like a craft cocktail connoisseur at the cambria hotel bar. uh-huh... uh-huh... or mr. "tackled the inbox"

it sits atop yerba buena island. a point of infinity sculpture by a japanese architecture. pacifica is starting to enjoy cooler weather. this was the scene on sharp heart beach where lots of fishing poles are out. you can see, people are bundled up there in one, two, three layers as it stayed in the low 60s and cloudy by the beach all afternoon. and i think brian and i saw it on our way in, but we go right to the golden gate bridge and you see -- >> yeah. >> it feels like you just went into another atmosphere. >> the difference. >> kind of like a summer pattern which is set up for that. 90s inland and 60s at the beaches. we're pretty much stuck right here for temperatures. we're not going to cool down a whole lot just

yet, but we will a little bit. first, there are other things in the sky that need to be discussed. you've probably been seeing pictures at all. if you are at all connected to what was happening, that's the time lapse from last night. can you kind of see a purple kind of haze in the sky there? you're even going to see a little bit of green show up, which is rare under these circumstance, but there you go. little bit of green showed up in there. that's what the aurora looked like last night from a photographer who was over sfo. two things about this, that is about 75% better than it looked to his eye, to the naked eye, when you were out there last night. cameras have a way, especially nowadays, of exposing things to pull out detail. it looks cool here, that actually happened, but he only saw 25% of that with the naked eye. we're going to talk more about this toward the end of the newscast. there's still one more night. you still get another chance tonight if you want to be able to see the aurora. in addition to the fact that the aurora itself is going to be weaker

tonight, they rate them on a scale of one to five. last night's was a five, which was incredible. we haven't had one of those in like 20 years on the planet. it's less intense and a bit cloudy tonight. watch in slow motion as the marine layer builds back in. by the time we've gotten towards dark, clouds start building in over the immediate bay and a little bit for the north bay. that's 10:00. that will be the start of your opportunity to see this. you'd want to be out from midnight on and the clouds just coop building in from there. so if you -- if you go out after about 1:00 a.m., it's just going to be cloudy. one of those mornings where the marine layer is going to fill in the entire bay. it doesn't last long tomorrow. by the time we get to late morning, there'll be more sunshine than anything else. that's the time lapse of what the marine layer has been doing over the golden gate bridge. this is what andrea was talking about. you had to be along the cost or at the golden gate, so in that way it's like a summer pattern. let's talk about the actual

forecast here. these are the numbers for tomorrow, but they're almost identical to today. we're kind of in a holding pattern right now in terms of the way it's going to feel. temperatures in the 60s over here. temperatures in the low 80s now for most of our lower inland spots. antioch on the verge of 90. that's today. monday is maybe a few degrees cooler if you're inland. a subtle drop but not big. you can see there are much cooler temperature, much more in line with what you would consider average this time of year by the time we get towards friday. that's where it will be towards the end of the week, so you can see how the heat risk map is really trending down. that's today. plenty of orange for those inland valleys, near 90. here's tomorrow. much less. and then by monday we've started clearing almost all of it out. so we're going to get a nice little break from this. let's get into the seven-day forecast, and i'll show you what's coming our way in terms of the microclimates san francisco. and oakland up first. numbers there for oakland sitting around 70 for the next seven days so. the big

warm-up is already over. if you're anywhere near the water or the immediate opening of the golden gate, north bay valleys around # 0 this week. san jose, 08-degree day tomorrow. you'll have a few 80-degree days that persist through the week. there isn't a huge temperature trend here, but a little bit cooler toward the end of next week. giants looking to get back into the win column today. and it's good timing for return of patrick bailey, who's back in the lineup after coming off the seven-day il. in the nba playoffs, luka having some fun pregame as the mavs look to take a 2-1 series lead against the one seed thunder. dallas up three, takes it straight to the hoop himself. he had 22 and a double-double. few moments later, three-point game, kyrie showing off the handles goes cross court and gets the basket to fall. he had 22 as well.

they wouldn't look back, winning 105-101. they take the series lead. in golf, third round of the wells fargo championship in charlotte, north carolina. rory mcilroy had himself dialled on moving day. here he was, approach on the par four, fifth hole, sticks it perfectly to set up a tap-in birdie. rory shot a bogey three four under to get within one of the lead, but for now the leader is xander. he carded a one under # 0. he's your solo leader at 12 under for the tournament. it's been a long time coming for re-opening of a nine-hole golf course near san francisco, and now that it's open, we had to pay it a visit to see what the hype was all about. >> reporter: public golf in san francisco just got a major upgrade. after closing down for nearly a year, the new and improved golden gate park golf course is back open to the

public. >> people are in shock and awe once they walk up the hill and they kind of see what we've done hoar. >> reporter: through the first tee of san francisco, a group of private donors funded a $2.5 million renovation of the nine-hole track. >> the community at times sees opportunity to raise the community up and this was definitely one of those times. >> this course is meant to last another 50 to # 5 years due to the new irrigation, all new sprinkler systems are in place, all new pipes. so it's really set up for success for the long haul. >> reporter: the new clubhouse and practice facilities make it a public playground for golfers of all skill sets, but it's the greens that keep people coming back. >> everybody remember it as a -- as like a family kind of great time out. you come out here with your kids and your grandkids and you have a great time. but the greens right now, since it was redone makes it

more challenging, more fun to come out and enjoy the course. >> reporter: the course even offers something that used to be exclusive to private courses. hot dog bill's burger dogs, fresh off the grill. >> it's been a great partnership. we get the meat on a daily basis from them. it's the same ingredients, same process. we cook it the same way, so it's the same thing, just not going to cost you an olympic club initiation fee. >> reporter: the club is not just an asset to the golfing community, it also serves as a home base for the first tee of san francisco, a nonprofit that introduces the game of golf to underprivileged youths. >> the kids love it. i mean, they loved coming to this place even before it's been transformed because it just has kind of this cool, familial vibe to it, but now they get to play it in modden great golf standards and a little bit easier and funner for them to play. so the feedback from our students has been great. >> reporter: but first he has a

deal to keep them at golden gate park for at least the next 15 years after investing in an asset for the community, public play will continue to support the program best known for growing the game. >> yeah, people coming and support this facility, they absolutely are, in one way or another, supporting first tee and our efforts to help underserved kids in the community. >> the course looks great, all i can think about after watching that package is hot dog bill's. >> looked so good. >> just in time for dinner. >> yeah, exactly. all right, thanks, matt. >> thank, you matt. coming up next, the northern light, as darren showed you, painted up the skies last night. we will show you the view from high atop

people across north america this weekend are getting a rare view of the northern lights thanks to a solar flare that the sun popped off. this is actually time lapse as darren told you a few minutes ago, it's time lapse over sfo from last night. >> the space weather prediction center says the northern lights could be visible as far as south as alabama. max darrow has some of the sights from last night . >> in awe. >> reporter: it's hard to put words to a sight like this. >> i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: but this is what xavier mendoza saw from mount hamilton on friday night, a stunning rare display of the northern lights. >> it just made my passion for astronomy a little bit more solidified. >> reporter: hen do sa is a grad student at san jose state. he shared his enthuse yam with professor aaron.

>> this is the most impactful event in 20 year, a fantastic hands-on learning experience for the students. >> reporter: beautiful auroras seen in these photos taken in marin and seen across muff of the world stem from a geomagnetic storm reaching earth. >> it's a beautiful experience. nothing too dangerous because we have our magnetic field protecting us around the earth. >> reporter: distinguished professor of astronomy alex took these photos from orinda. >> the red auroras are actually more rare than the green auroras. that was quite special for me to see such an intense red aurora. >> reporter: along with the beauty comes potential for problems for us on earth with telecommunications and power systems. >> when these particles come in, they twang our magnetic field. it's as though you hit a bell with a hammer, and so it vibrates. and the vibrating magnetic field lines of earth then induce electric currents

that go streaming along the power line, especially the long distance lines, okay. and then when those currents reach transformers at local power stations, they can short circuit the transformer, because they're not used to such intense currents. >> reporter: one more look at the sky, mendoza is hopeful this rare celestial event will be a source of inspiration. >> hopefully this makes an impact to especially our younger generation to pursue, you know, some field in s.t.e.m. >> reporter: so if you missed it last night, you still may be in luck. both professors believe you should be able to see some auroras tonight, though the show just might not be as dramatic as it was last night. you'll have to look north at around midnight to 1:00 in the morning. your eyes may not be able to pick up on a ton of color, but if you take a long exposure photo with your phone, just two to three seconds, the colors will likely

emerge. >> cameras have a great die ma'amic range. >> it's an important aspect to this story, especially since we live now at a time where those pictures are blowing up. and everybody's seeing these pictures, which, you know, just fiebly look spectacular. >> looks great, yeah. >> and go out and go, wait a minute. >> right. it's not -- it's not the experience of actually looking at it with the naked eye. i think everybody's who's got an iphone can relate to this. if you've taken a picture at night, phones do wonders now to make thingers appear brighter and clearer than they are. these pictures specifically are from sophie, our 11:00 producer. >> o, really? >> so fee and sara donchey, they finished the newscast last night and drove into the marin headlands by the beach. so i called her today because never the newsroom was floored by these pictures, and i said, sophie, put a number on this, from the way your pictures look to what you saw when you were standing there, how much of a

percentage would you say you actually saw. she said i probably put it at about 25%. so the phone's magnifying the visualization of this, but she's got no regrets of going. she still saw it. that's kind of a cool experience t this latitude to be able to see you say the aurora borealis. the takeaway was this was a five on a scale of one to five. tonight's a four. and it's going to be a bit cloudy. >> just take a picture. >> after the show at 11:00 we'll two out and look. >> well, yeah, and i'll take a picture. thank, darren. well, coming up, she graduated high school at the start of world war ii, now more than 80 years later she has a new degree. how an

the oldest u.s. national park ranger, betty reid soskin, got an honorary doctorate at cal state east bay. >> soskin didn't become a park ranger until she was 85 years old. she is now 102 years old and retired two years ago. >> dr. soskin corala . tonight, israel orders civilians in the gaza city of rafah to get out. the city once a refuge from war now on its front lines. hundreds of thousands with
